During the last few years the number of growers offering their own products at Mabru decreased. This is amongst others the result of the fact that there are less and less small shop owners in Belgium. The early market in Brussels is famous because of its local products and international supply and has developed into a market offering a wide assortment of products and is well-known for freshness.
Summer has started again and this is quite clear from the displays. Many have a colourful assortment with summer fruit, such as cherries, peaches and nectarines. Also melons and watermelons are present at the early market. On a recent visit, it was striking that many wanted to be photographed with strawberries, locally grown of course. The sellers were happy, that after the difficult winter the summer season started again.
